Citizen's Academy

February 19th to May 14th 2015

The Jasper County Sheriff's Office is now offering enrollment in our 10th, semi-annual, Sheriff's Citizens Academy. This session will run from February 19th to May 14th 2015. Classes will be held every Thursday night from 6:30-9:00 PM at the Sheriff's Office HQ located at 231 South Main St., Carthage.

Participants must be 18 years of age or older, have no felony or serious misdemeanor convictions, and must be a resident, work or own a business in Jasper County. There is no cost for participants.

The Sheriff's Citizen's Academy was initiated in 2010 to give the citizens of Jasper County an inside look into the day to day operations of the Sheriff's Office and Jail. Participants will be introduced to the challenges faced by law enforcement and learn about why we do what we do. Participants will receive hands on training and will take the role of a Deputy Sheriff in training simulations.

Interested persons can visit jaspercountysheriff.org to obtain a registration form or contact Sgt. Craig Davis directly. Completed forms can be faxed to 417-359-8620, hand delivered or mailed to the Jasper County Sheriff's Office SCA, 231 South Main St. Carthage, Mo. 64836.

Applicants will be contacted at a later date to notify them of their acceptance.

Questions can be referred to Sgt. Craig Davis at 417-358-8177 ext.1212.
